Hi,

I am in the process of selecting courses to take at night to pad up the ol gpa and bcmp gpa.

I am finiding lots of great science courses from UCBextension but there are a bunch of them that sound similar to classes I took at UCSB during undergrad.

For example:

The biology of human cancer (UCB) vs. Oncogenesis and Cell Growth (UCSB)

The biology of cancer (UCB) vs. *same as above*


Principles and Techniques of Molecular Cell Biology (UCB) vs. Biochemistry I II or III or Cell Biology (UCSB)

Principles of Molecular Biology (UCB) vs. *same as above*

Any advice? I called UCBextension admissions and they just told me I have to use my common sense. Not exactly the answer I was looking for.

Is there a big problem if I take a course that doubles up on a lot of the material I already learned in a previous class? For credits? For GPA calc? For adcom?
